Dear family of Dolores, I was so sad to hear of her passing. I'm sure you know how much I enjoyed time creating things to help in her shop in Silver Springs. The mall was never the same without her. She brightened up our day and we will miss her greatly.
I would be at the service but I have an appointment with my own Mom that I couldn't miss. My best wishes and condolences to you all and my prayers are with you.
Love Kathy Saliani
